Overview
Discovery is a studio for growing readers, writers, and thinkers — blending strong core skills with hands-on projects, outdoor learning, and meaningful work.
Discovery is a developmental bridge. Learners deepen core skills, build independence, and learn how to work with focus — while still keeping play, movement, and curiosity at the center.
Core Skills + Quests
Discovery follows a steady weekly rhythm:
- Core skills (reading, writing, math)
- Quests (project-based learning)
- Quests typically run 4–6 weeks and end with an exhibition for the community.
Literacy Support
Learners are grouped by readiness — particularly in reading and writing — so they can receive appropriate challenge and support
Discovery Studio Approach
- A balance of core skills and project-based learning through Quests
- Socratic discussions to deepen critical thinking skills
- Opportunities for learners to ask questions, explore ideas, and build curiosity about the world through deep dives in quests
- Support for learners in developing the tools and habits needed to become lifelong learners
- Increasing ownership and autonomy over their work and learning
- Small-group support to meet learners at their developmental readiness
- A studio culture that encourages deep thinking, collaboration, and personal responsibility
- Guides who mentor, challenge, and support learners as they grow in confidence and independence
